Carr Beats Melius at Showdown
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 400 ante
Matthew Carr got the action started with an open to 1,600 from the cutoff. John Twyman called from the small blind, and Quinten Melius defended his big blind.
The Q♦8♦7♥ flop was checked by both blinds before Carr fired 3,300. Twyman folded, but Melius made the call.
Both players knuckled the 10♣ turn, bringing the 9♦ river. Melius bet 3,200 and was quickly called by Carr.
Melius showed 9♥7♥ for two pair, but Carr had it beat, as he showed Q♥9♠ for a higher two pair to drag in the chips.
